Our Mission & History

We at the Fuller Center for Housing believe that:

• We are part of a God movement, and movements don’t just stop.
• We have been called to this housing ministry; we didn’t just stumble into it.
• We are unashamedly Christian, and enthusiastically ecumenical.
• We aren’t a church but we are a servant of the Church.
• We are faith driven, knowing that after we’ve done all we can do the Lord will help finish the job — something that requires us to stretch beyond our rational reach.
• We are a grass-roots ministry, recognizing that the real work happens on the ground in communities around the world through our covenant partners, so a large, overseeing bureaucracy isn’t needed.
• We try to follow the teachings of the Bible and believe that it says that we shouldn’t charge interest of the poor, so we don’t.
• Government has a role in our work in helping set the stage, but that we shouldn’t look to it as a means to fund the building of home.
